Army
ROTC at BGSU provides hands-on training in leadership,
team building, problem solving, ethical decision making
and other management principles while preparing young
men and women for exciting career opportunities in the
United States Army, Army Reserve and National Guard. The
program focuses on aspects of leadership that will serve
one extremely well whether pursuing a career in the military
or in the business world.
Army
ROTC consists of the basic course, offered to freshmen
and sophomores, and the advanced course for select juniors,
seniors and graduate students. The basic course is open
to most full-time, BGSU enrolled students. Basic course
students participate in two hours of coursework each week.
Uniforms and textbooks are provided. Classroom instruction
is enhanced with participation in activities such as rappelling,
rifle marksmanship, map reading, orienteering and small
unit leadership techniques.
Admission
to the advanced course is offered on a competitive basis
after completion of the basic course. Advanced course
students must be academically aligned as juniors or have
two full years remaining for degree completion. Students
admitted to the advanced course will receive a tax-free
stipend of between $200-400 during each month of the academic
year. Students can substitute prior military training
or the ROTC Leader's Training Course for the basic course
requirement in order to enter the advanced course.
Army
ROTC also has four-, three- and two-year scholarships
for eligible students. Scholarships provide tuition, fees,
textbook allowance and a monthly stipend.
Students
who successfully complete Army ROTC will earn a commission
as an officer in the Army, Army Reserve or Army National
Guard. They will gain and be able to demonstrate "real-world"
leadership and management skills to future employers.
